Join me for a one day workshop and explore the ancient Japanese practice of sashiko stitch. We will discuss and learn sashiko from a traditional perspective through sampling activities and a small project.

After a lunch break we will move toward a more personal expression of sashiko as you experiment on printed fabrics and consider the mending possibilities that can be achieved.

This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the benefits of slow stitching in a small group of like minded textile enthusiasts. I'd love you to join me for this workshop.

Along with the rest of the Piper Street retail community I will be opening my store to celebrate the end of Autumn and join the "HARVEST" celebrations as the Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival draws to a close.

Pop in and say hi, browse and try on some wonderful new winter arrivals. Try your skills at the 'origami table' and sip a warm cup of Japanese Tea.

To celebrate the close of the Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival join us on Piper Street for the inaugural "HARVEST" event.

This free event is a family-friendly salute to all things autumn and will take place at twilight, across both the Kyneton Museum (free entry during April) and St Pauls Park on Piper Street. From 5pm until 8pm.

Expect plenty of live music, roasted smoky autumn treats, roving performers, ghost tours, and the comfort of harvest food and drink in autumn. There'll be a licensed bar for the adults, and spinning and weaving demonstrations.

Boutique retailers along Piper Street will also be hosting a special Autumn edition After Dark late-night shopping event. Visitors can explore participating stores, enjoy special in-store activations, and take part in the Piper Street Passport

Live music from The Kyneton Country Revue, Valley Road, Cat and Clint, and the Dusty Millers.

These Japanese Noren are a wonderful way to refresh an interior. They can be used as a door curtain, room divide or wall hanging. East to install and available in a range of modern and traditional designs.
